Genesis 1:14–16 — Lights in the Firmament of Heaven

“And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.” — Genesis 1:14–16 (KJV)

And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

Genesis 1:14–16 begins the fourth day of creation. God now appoints lights in the firmament of heaven and gives them specific functions: they are to divide day from night, give light upon the earth, and mark signs, seasons, days, and years.
